"The Last Story On Earth" continues with shocking revelations into what the humans have done to Cybertronians and what they plan to do!

Next up in our countdown to the release of Transformers Dark of the Moon on DVD & Blu-Ray is
Air Raid! Air Raid is a part of wave 5 with Darksteel,
who we put up a gallery of yesterday, and Armor Topspin. Air Raid is the lone new mold in the assortment, a radar / spy plane to shore up the Movie Autobots' air force. In robot mode he's a bit quirky, with a flail on one arm, and the radar dish transforms into a shield - very much like a gladiator! But when you need more firepower, the radar dish MechTech transforms into a blaster weapon. Air Raid also has a variety of different sockets to attach weapons in robot and jet modes, and the
fully kitted out jet mode is a sight to behold!

As a little follow-on to
our Sideswipe gallery we featured earlier, here's Sideswipe's remold, Darksteel, in all his glory!
Darksteel features a new head which has a unique charm all of its own, very different to your typical Movie Transformer's head. His vehicle mode deco is excellent, in black with teal tribal details which looks really sharp. Robot mode is a departure revealing a lot of mustard yellow, which contrasts nicely against the darker vehicle parts. He's a homage to Beast Wars Quickstrike, and the resemblance comes out when the two are stood together - but make no mistake, Darksteel has an identity all of his own! He's been in stock on Hasbro Toy Shop recently, though there has not been a US bricks and mortar store sighting yet.
Well worth checking out as and when he arrives, he's a great redeco of a fun mold.

Harry Potter and Transformers toys ranked high among children over the summer.
Toy News Online reports that, in a survey of children aged seven to eleven, of all this summers licensed toys, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2 toys took 19.12% of the market. Transformers: Dark of the Moon was second and Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides was a close third.
Unsurprisingly, comic properties like Thor, X-Men and Green Lantern failed to make much of a dent. Just check your toy store shelves for proof. Some properties, like Captain America didn't even make the top 10.

For day 2 of our countdown to "Transformers Friday", we draw your attention to another gallery by SydneyY. This time the spotlight falls upon
Dark of the Moon Sideswipe, an excellent and fun little toy. Sideswipe first appeared in Revenge of the Fallen for the conclusion of the pulse-pounding Shanghai action sequence, and his main part in Dark of the Moon is to fight against the Dreads with Ironhide in the standout set piece "Mexican Standoff" scene. His toy reflects the new look his vehicle mode gets for Dark of the Moon with the open convertible roof, which has a pleasing side effect of minimising the car parts backpack on the actual toy. Great poseability round out this figure, and really the only fault is he lacks the gorgeous silver finish of the Revenge of the Fallen Deluxe.

Dark of the Moon Deluxe Class SideswipeOf course, if you missed out on Sideswipe, there's his extremely handsome looking redeco with a new head named Darksteel coming down the pipeline very soon...
